Senate Democrats are scheduled to meet Tuesday to finalize their leadership team for the next Congress, with Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar poised to become the party’s No. 3 leader in the chamber.
Fresh off losing their majority in the November elections, Senate Democrats are set to retain their top two leaders, Charles E. Schumer of New York and Richard J. Durbin of Illinois. Schumer has led the Democratic caucus since 2017, while Durbin, who is up for reelection in 2026, is the party’s longtime whip.
Klobuchar, who was first elected in 2006, is set to succeed retiring Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow as the third-ranking Democrat in the chamber. Stabenow is retiring after nearly three decades in Congress.
